We would like to invite you to contribute a chapter in an edited collection that will examine the impact of colonialism on gender relations in specified regions of the Indo-Pacific and their responses.

As part of the Australian Research Council, Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW), under the Indigenous workstream ‘the violence of colonialism’, we are examining colonisation and settler colonialism as gendered regimes.

Gender based violence has been introduced to the Indo-Pacific by imposing colonial conditions which include unequal power relations and cultures of gendered abuse and sexual violence. Settler colonial nation states like Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand) are still occupied by British settler colonies, while other Pacific nations still contend with the influence of European missionaries and foreign military and corporate presence. To address gender-based violence is to address the legacies and ongoing impacts of colonialism.

Through an examination of colonisation and settler colonialism as gendered regimes, this edited collection aims to assess the limitations of colonial structures for responding to systems of colonial power and importantly, how Indigenous peoples understand and respond to systems of colonial violence, and thereby work towards decolonising gender-based violence service provision.

Please do not hesitate to contact Terri with questions or inquiries.
